New academic self-concept instruments were used to measure self-concepts in 13 (Grades 5-6) or 16 (Grades 7-10) school subjects and to test the structure of academic self-concept posited in the Marsh/Shavelson model. First-order factor analyses identified the scales each instrument was designed to measure, demonstrating that academic self-concept is remarkably subject-specific. As posited, two ...

In this paper, we enlarge the language of triangle algebra by addinga unary operation that describes properties of a state. Thesestructure algebras are called state triangle algebra. The vitalproperties of these algebras are given. The notion of state interval-valued residuated lattice (IVRL)-filters are introduced and givesome examples and properties of them are given. ...

In cite{Kats84}, Katsaras introduced a method for constructing a Hu-tton $[0,1]$-quasi-uniformity from a crisp uniformity. In this paper we present other different methods for making this based mainly in the concept of a fuzzy uniform structure. Furthermore, we prove that some of these methods preserve the completeness property of the quasi-uniformity.  Moreover, we also show that Katsaras' con...

In this paper, we introduce a new algebraic structure, called a UP-algebra (UP means the University of Phayao) and a concept of UP-ideals, UP-subalgebras, congruences and UP-homomorphisms in UP-algebras, and investigated some related properties of them. We also describe connections between UP-ideals, UP-subalgebras, congruences and UP-homomorphisms, and show that the notion of UP-algebras is a ...

‎Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group‎. ‎The concept of a generalized multiresolution structure (GMS) in $L^2(G)$ is discussed which is a generalization of GMS in $L^2(mathbb{R})$‎. ‎Basically a GMS in $L^2(G)$ consists of an increasing sequence of closed subspaces of $L^2(G)$ and a pseudoframe of translation type at each level‎. ‎Also‎, ‎the construction of affine frames for $L^2(G)$ bas...

This paper outlines and evaluates recent contributions by Nicos Mouzelis and Margaret Archer to the structure–agency debate. Mouzelis offers an internal reconstruction of Giddens’s structuration theory; Archer an external alternative. I show that, although representing an advance on Giddens’s position, Mouzelis’s account fails because he relies on the former’s definition of structure as compris...

In hierarchical distributed control systems for hydro power groups located over a large area, there are requirements for independent (autonomous) operation of control systems for each power group (or parts of the group), to solve local problems or in case of real-time faults over communication paths with upper levels. In this case, the control equipment for power groups may be defined as holons...

This paper presents a new way of generating synthetic speech waveforms from a linguistic description. The algorithm is presented as a proposed solution to the speech generation problem in a concept-to-speech system. Off-line, a database of recorded speech is annotated so as to produce a phonological tree for each sentence in that database. Synthesis is performed by generating a phonological tre...

The aim of this instrumental study is to determine whether the empirical data confirm the structure of the Personal Self-Concept (PSC) Questionnaire, made up of four scales: Self-fulfillment, Autonomy, Honesty and Emotional self-concept. The inclusion of these scales is justified according to the conceptual review of the personal development, as well as the review of the instruments, which part...
